Republic class dec 17th
 

Just wondering if anyone on here is going to the Republic class on Dec. 17th for the 170?? I was offered the training date and was emailed the promissary note and the training contract but no information on the hotel where we are staying and no plane ticket yet to get there. Just wondering if I should give Linda or Kim a call to make sure I get those or wait it out. If anyone is going to that class, let me know if you received those in their email or if they are still waiting to hear from them. Thanks and can't wait to get there!!

Congrats Stumpie,

I'm interviewing with them on Thursday the 6th and I haven't received my standy-by email yet, so maybe they're just backd up.

What times did you have when you interviewed if you don't mind me asking?

I'm in the same boat Think it will be like the interview, we'll get the e-ticket a day or two before we're supposed to be there.

Have you checked out the Republic forums?

I had 1200/100. No I haven't checked out the Republic forums. I don't even know how to do that (unless you mean on here) so if you could enlighten me that would be great. I'm just wondering if they need us to memorize certain stuff like at some other airlines. If this is the case, they need to get that stuff to us so we can start our studying.

I was told during the interview that they don't give you material ahead of time on purpose. They would rather you show up with slate clean and ready to learn and have no conflicting information to unlearn.

This should be a more direct link:

Appreciate it Weasel, but are they supposed to give you an employee number?? If they were, I haven't gotten one.

Hey Strumphie,

How much multi time was in the last 3 mos?

Just testing the waters and seeing how I'm gonna do come Thursday.

I did a time building thing with a local FBO in Florida in late July. I got a few more hours with my FBO in Columbus, OH in between that time. With that said, probably 5 hrs. They didn't have a whole lot of questions about the multi time. In fact, it didn't seem to grab their interest at all. Good luck on the interview.

You can only access the new hire section until they give you an employee number. You won't have your employee number until you get to indoc.

No pre-study material. You'll get an FSI bag and plenty of books on day 1. Don't sweat it, there is plenty of time to learn everything. Spend some quality time during Indoc getting to know your classmates. Indoc is a good time for social and liver training. You will become infuriated with how corporate treats newhires at some point. Find a CA in the class or get on rp.org. It will help you tremendously as you find your own way into the company.

As far as recent multi time, don't sweat it. I was hired with just a handful of recent multi time. If you have good qualifications otherwise, you should be alright.

880 is spot on.... the infuriation is building in our class as of today. No need to study ahead. Its a good time to get to know everyone. INDOC test tomorrow.... systems starts Thursday. Unfortunately we have NO CA upgrades in our class so we are sorta shooting in the dark. Employee number first day...hopefully you guys will get HR the first day..HOWEVER word is you guys will be on the 1530 to 0030 schedule for at least a few days and HR doesnt like to spend the night.... we just got them today on day 6. Good luck to you all. Other than that the FSI guys have been pretty good.

Did you guys get your IDs? If not, let me know so we can make sure the holiday classes don't get hosed and stuck in STL over the holiday without the ability to jumpseat. Welcome to the company, its downright unprofessional how they treat new hires during training. The only consolation I can offer is that things get much better once you hit the line. Reserve should also be fairly short. I'm sure you know all about cooperate to graduate, but make sure you make the game and take care of each other.

ID's...LOL....next week some time....maybe.....

Other than that we are doing good.... Thanks.

We got our IDs about halfway through the second week, but we started on a Wednesday.

Yeah, I can see them not doing the security paperwork until after the holidays for the 12/17 classes and then telling them that they will only positive space them to a base(or not at all for a 3 day break) over Christmas. Another great way to welcome new members of the team, leave them stranded in STL for Christmas without the ability to get themselves home if they chose.

Guys, youll often feel like youre on your own island during training... where no one from the company cares about you. You wont be able to get anyone on the phone, and alot of your questions will go unanswered.

However, I assure you, there are people here who care about you. We need you now more than ever. This is a great pilot group, full of a bunch of great younger guys/gals, who are absolutely a blast to work with every day. Once you get out on the line, it will be completely different. Keep your head up, get on republicpilots.org for your information, and work hard during training. This is my second airline. And I could not recommend it highly enough to anyone.

Anyone have any questions, feel free to PM ANY of the RAH guys floating around here, or post something on rp.org. You will get a response one of us, I assure you.

Good luck, and welcome aboard.
